Will these pads hold liquid beneath a 6'4" tall, restless, bedridden patient?

In my opinion, yes... I use it for my dog who is diabetic and goes all the time. It is very absorbent, I change the pads less frequently than any of the other pads I have tried. its very fluffy, and thick.

It would do ok but, you may need to put two or three under the patient if they are two restless and wiggle them out from under him/her.

Only you would know how restless this person is. Does he wind up on the other side of the bed when he turns and tosses??????? If so you'll have to use 2 or 3 pads. The pads are very good quality.

It would depend on your particular situation. I bought these for my disabled sister, who is now incontinent. For her I got 9 of the size 2 Thirsties to help cycle through a day and a half. I need more as it turns out.

It depends on the size of the pad according to Ker Medical website (http://www.kerrmedical.com/bedalarmandsensorpad-noalarmnoiseinpatientsroom-1-2.aspx) "20" x 30" bed pad for a patient weighing less than 120 lbs".

We are using these pads for our 85 year old mother. She sleeps in a twin bed and it is not up against a wall. The pad hangs over both edges of the bed. She is about 160 lbs and short. The pads have not moved, they haven't shifted or bunched up, but she is a full size person. We are very pleased with the pads, we bought 4 of them, so they is always a clean dry pad available. I hope this helps. Blessings to you and your family!

Ours are 4 inches tall with a half inch bottom so 3 1/2 inches for holding liquid.

These were bought for my 96 year old mother's urine accidents. They work for that. Her outer clothes remain dry

Yes, I'm sure that would work well. They are pretty dense pads so they might not flow a large volume of water through them easily. I tried to run all of my water through them in my sump and it backed up the flow.

I have not had that happen and my Mom is on these pads 24 hours a day!!! They are thick and soft. Now I do change my Mom's pad 4-6 times in a 24 hour shift so they do not sit under her for days. They seem durable- I doubt one pad would be good for weeks but I think it would last several days of just sitting or laying around on it.

I'm using them in that manner. The equipment , BowFlex, sits very level on these pads over carpet. Hope that helps.

I think they would hold a cup of water. They work very well. They are a little on the thin side but they do hold up overnight.

Absolutely! I used to buy him Underpads at Aurora Pharmacy,$4 for 12,but these really DON't leak! I once found em in Lavendar Scented...wish I could find THOSE again!!!

These pads are excellent for containing a liquid stool I don't know why it wouldn't be good for a firm stool. The side wings are elasticized and keep matter in enclosed.

Sorry to say I haven't tried, we use them to protect the chair. Also it would depend on the weight of the person. I think they can the pad seems strong enough. The pads do wash well. I hope this helps you Good luck

They would probably work, but you do need to keep the surface wet by constantly running a stream of water over the surface. It would most likely work dry too, but the pads will wear out quickly. Use a slow speed, especially if you do it dry.

To answer your question, I tried a little experiment. I took a clean dry pad and slowly added water. 1/6th cup of water seemed to be the point where it overflowed the edges. These are great for leakage and smaller amounts of liquid. I would try a larger size product for heavy incontinence.

They certainly should. However, I purchased these for my son who does not use a mattress pad and he claims it's the only sheet that actually stays in place. I think he has one of those super thick Tempurpedic memory foam mattresses.

These pads are very absorbant dont leak the sheet, but I recommend in case of accident change this in the lesser time posible, depend of the quantity, Occasionally my mam has an accident in the afternoon, but I change in two hours, no more. I don´t have experience in more time, because at night use diaper and pad
